Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ehterscan.github.io as an active crypto drainer impersonating the legitimate Etherscan blockchain explorer. The domain leverages GitHub Pages to host a fraudulent interface designed to deceive users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets, where malicious scripts would drain funds upon approval. This threat falls under the category of crypto drainers, a high-risk subtype of phishing attacks targeting blockchain users. Given the domain's active status and its presence on multiple security blocklists, users are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution and avoid interacting with this domain under any circumstances. This domain was flagged with a status of 'active' and a risk level currently under investigation. It resolves to IP address 185.199.108.153 and is registered through GitHub, Inc., utilizing a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The domain appears on at least two security blocklists, including those maintained by SEAL and MetaMask, indicating widespread recognition of its malicious nature. Notably, VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 antivirus engines, suggesting that signature-based detection has not yet caught up with this threat. While GitHub Pages is a legitimate hosting service, threat actors frequently exploit its subdomain infrastructure (e.g., github.io) to deploy phishing campaigns due to its perceived trustworthiness. The lack of detections on VirusTotal further underscores the stealthy nature of this campaign, which relies on dynamic evasion tactics to bypass automated defenses. The primary risk associated with ehterscan.github.io is the potential for cryptocurrency theft through wallet draining. Once a user connects their wallet to the fraudulent site, malicious JavaScript payloads may execute to approve unauthorized transactions or manipulate transaction details, leading to irreversible fund losses. To mitigate this threat, users should verify the authenticity of any blockchain explorer or wallet interface by cross-checking the domain against official sources (e.g., etherscan.io). Browser extensions like MetaMask may block interactions with known malicious domains, but this should not be relied upon as the sole defense. Additionally, users should revoke any suspicious wallet approvals immediately using tools like revoke.cash and enable hardware wallet confirmations for high-value transactions. Organizations and individuals should report this domain to relevant blocklists (e.g., SEAL, MetaMask) and share threat intelligence to prevent further spread. Always use bookmarks for frequently visited sites and avoid clicking on unsolicited links to prevent exposure to such attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 6572be33da5bc2af908c4c17b0d52057 TLS cert SHA-256: ea69bc711cb9d45698d2fdaa4854d7dc086acd3a9c350164909b688ac7c0631f ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ehterscan.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ehterscan.github.io Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
